Brenner Edge: Plain Obverse Description: Bust of Abraham Lincoln framed by IN GOD WE TRUST on the top periphery. The word LIBERTY to the left of the portrait and the date and mintmark (If any) positioned on the right side. Reverse Description: Wheat ears flanking the words ONE CENT, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. The motto E PLURIBUS UNUM on the top perimeter. General Notes: The 1922 no D Weak D is one of the most popular and affordable versions of the year's one-cent varieties. The Weak D enjoys attention in part because it iserves as an affordable space filler for collectors who can't afford to lay out hundreds of dollars for a 1922 no D cent, a rare variety that is customarily given a place in most Lincoln cent folders, albums, and displays. The 1922 no D Weak D trades for a small premium over its standard 1922-D counterpart, but it ishould not be mistaken for the rarer and more valuable Plain variety. PCGS #: 2542 NGC ID: 2U6G
